What shell are you using? In bash, at least, the above won't work -- you want Jobs=((Jobs+1))Hi - I'm trying to launch a set number of threads, wait for them to finish, launch another set of threads, wait and repeat until there's no more input.
so - I've got this (this is in the middle of a loop reading a file):
Jobs=$Jobs + 1
Just to be sure, you've confirmed that the problem arises because the if-then body runs with an empty $PID? Do the two echo commands fire?/tibcoresources/appmanage.exe<<lots of params>> & PID=$! echo $PID is the process
if [[ $Jobs -gt 2 ]] then { echo pausing wait $PID Jobs=0 echo starting } fi
But - I don't get anything back from $! so the wait doesn't wait and I end up launching a bunch of processes and taking down the server, etc, etc, etc.
